Keep to the Familiar Path

The history behind Guan Yin lots →Mark well these words, spoken to you plainly:
do not chase new trades in faraway places.
Hold fast to the livelihood you have long known —
beyond this, no other road will favour you.
直言说话君须记
莫在他乡求别艺
切须守己旧生涯
除此其余都不利
Be content with where you already stand. There is nowhere better to go right now, and pushing for a further move invites misfortune instead of blessing.
This lot counsels staying with familiar ground rather than gambling on unfamiliar ventures or drastic moves. It suggests that stability itself is the good fortune on offer right now, and that patience with the status quo will be rewarded in time.

Family life is fairly safe and the year is not unfavorable. Wealth comes favorably and a business deal succeeds, though marriage faces obstacles and pregnancy calls for caution against sudden scares. A traveler you are expecting will be delayed, only half the harvest comes in, and livestock may see losses. A missing person will be found, though lost items are unlikely to be recovered and a lawsuit has little chance of success. This is not the time to move house, illness is slow to improve, and this is a good time to renovate the ancestral graves.
Restlessness can disguise itself as ambition, whispering that anywhere else would be better than here. Sometimes the braver practice is to stay and deepen the work already in front of you. Before making your next big change, ask honestly: am I moving toward something wholesome, or just away from discomfort?
